    News story says 50 complaints submitted to FDA about e-cigs in past year

    Bill, I haven't read the article yet, but: The first quote sounds a lot like an anxiety attack to me. Could it have been caused by belief in ANTZ fearmongering? Re the second quote: "I just recently realized what was turning my taste buds black." I may spend some time pondering "taste buds...

    Asking permission to reprint and distribute "The Great Nicotine Myth"

    Do I need rolygate's permission to reformat and reprint "The Great Nicotine Myth"? A new B&M has opened near me, The Village Vapor Company (West Palm Beach, FL). Owner is a member of ECF("ennagizer") and active in CASAA. He has a selection of reference material available for his customers...

    (California and The Senator Durbin Gang) Fight to Vape - Thursday, 04.17.14

    I'm still tweeting the senators (I will not elevate them by using a capital "S"...) w/ varying messages. Have sent several thus: "@[senator] You must read this. Injects reason into your diatribe against #ecigs...

    Carl Phillips: FDA reveals its views on ecigs in new publication

    Quite probably *yes* IMO. They are being *forced* to come up with increasingly fearsome scaremongering rants on ecigs, as I see it for two principle reasons: 1) There was very little pushback from smokers when Tobacco Control started its anti-smoking crusade. Vapers, on the other hand, are...

    Oh, no, it's alive! CA no-shipping bill AB1500 assigned to committee

    :offtopic: but relevant to several posts here: I'm one of those who *love* the fragrance of burning tobacco. Always have, always will. I have no problem with those who no longer feel the same, but would never, myself, refer to cigs as stinkies. (The "fragrance" of stale butts or dirty ashtrays...

    A reasonably balanced history and overview of ecigs and vaping

    Well done! You might care to reinforce your OH's newfound belief re nicotine by having her read the following, from Chris Price's (ECF's "rolygate") blog, which I just rediscovered: The Great Nicotine Myth It's the most comprehensive, readable source I've found for rebutting all the "nicotine...

    A reasonably balanced history and overview of ecigs and vaping

    Thanks for adding the info, Vocalek. I should have mentioned that it's a UK publication. (Sometime I swear I forget which side of the pond I'm on...)

    A reasonably balanced history and overview of ecigs and vaping

    It's all here: Herbert Gilbert and Hon Lik, quotes from our most unloved ANTZ countered by quotes from vaping heros, the early days and the current situation. Worth a read, and if you're a new vaper, a must read: http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/ed185b54-c5e0-11e3-a7d4-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2zAGAZzUp

    What did you smoke before vaping?

    My first cigarette was a Fatimah, back in the 50's (anyone remember those?). Favorite overall was Dunhill menthol 100, full flavor. When prices got ridiculous, would stock up abroad on cruises. Still have a carton of these in the freezer -- just in case. Last cigarette was a DTC menthol 100...

    Carl Phillips: FDA reveals its views on ecigs in new publication

    Comment on Jman's post: I find it puzzling that people at FDA CTP, public health officials, and alphabet and TC prohibitionists find it acceptable -- nay, praiseworthy -- to keep repeating "we don't know." Ecigs have been around in this country for at least 7 years. SEVEN! Relevant long-term...

    ..... what?!?

    First of all, I had to google the brand to be sure this wasn't a late April Fool's prank! (It's not...) I wonder if this will get assigned to FDA's Center for Tobacco Products. After all, people will be exhaling visible vapor ("smoke"). The good news is that if it does get FDA approval, vapers...

    ok...I think I'm seeing things here...lol

    Okay. I read that we're talking about three separate incidents, two in addition to OP's. OP's mentions a woman in London who was taken to hospital for "shock" and "smoke inhalation" after her ecig battery vented. Cause: improper charger. No actual fire mentioned. Then there's the elderly woman...

    Stealth vaping cuteness

    I ordered one from FT this afternoon. Will report back about the firing button when it arrives.

    ok...I think I'm seeing things here...lol

    Smoke inhalation? I doubt anything was set on fire or the article would have reported it. I do appreciate the commonsense quote from the Fire Brigade:

    Vaping and the Police

    I vape like a madwoman in the car as part of my personal PR campaign for vaping. Have yet to have a LEO stop me. Too bad, as most of them around here are young and really cute. Damn. ;)

    What the heck is a "Hanky 800"?

    There's a Janty ecig brand. Could it be that? I know it's available in the UK but not sure about the US. (The "800" may refer to 808 threading?)
